I am trying to use SVM for object detection. I have a set of a positive and negative images. Using this code I have trained the files into an xml file. Now I want a code that can use that file for object detection.

#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h>
#include <cvaux.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include<string.h>
using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main ( int argc, char** argv )
{
    cout << "OpenCV Training SVM Automatic Number Plate Recognition\n";
    cout << "\n";

    char* path_Plates;
    char* path_NoPlates;
    int numPlates;
    int numNoPlates;
    int imageWidth=150;
    int imageHeight=150;

    //Check if user specify image to process
    if(1)
    {
        numPlates= 12;
        numNoPlates= 67 ;
        path_Plates= "/home/kaushik/opencv_work/Manas6/Pics/Positive_Images/";
        path_NoPlates= "/home/kaushik/opencv_work/Manas6/Pics/Negative_Images/i";

    }else{
        cout << "Usage:\n" << argv[0] << " <num Plate Files> <num Non Plate Files> <path to plate folder files> <path to non plate files> \n";
        return 0;
    }

    Mat classes;//(numPlates+numNoPlates, 1, CV_32FC1);
    Mat trainingData;//(numPlates+numNoPlates, imageWidth*imageHeight, CV_32FC1 );

    Mat trainingImages;
    vector<int> trainingLabels;

    for(int i=1; i<= numPlates; i++)
    {

        stringstream ss(stringstream::in | stringstream::out);
        ss<<path_Plates<<i<<".jpg";
        try{

            const char* a = ss.str().c_str();
            printf("\n%s\n",a);
            Mat img = imread(ss.str(), CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED);
            img= img.clone().reshape(1, 1);
            //imshow("Window",img);
            //cout<<ss.str();
            trainingImages.push_back(img);
            trainingLabels.push_back(1);
        }
        catch(Exception e){;}
    }

    for(int i=0; i< numNoPlates; i++)
    {
        stringstream ss(stringstream::in | stringstream::out);
        ss << path_NoPlates<<i << ".jpg";
        try
        {
            const char* a = ss.str().c_str();
            printf("\n%s\n",a);
            Mat img=imread(ss.str(),CV_LOAD_IMAGE_UNCHANGED);
            //imshow("Win",img);
            img= img.clone().reshape(1, 1);
            trainingImages.push_back(img);
            trainingLabels.push_back(0);
            //cout<<ss.str();
        }
        catch(Exception e){;}
    }

    Mat(trainingImages).copyTo(trainingData);
    //trainingData = trainingData.reshape(1,trainingData.rows);
    trainingData.convertTo(trainingData, CV_32FC1);
    Mat(trainingLabels).copyTo(classes);

    FileStorage fs("SVM.xml", FileStorage::WRITE);
    fs << "TrainingData" << trainingData;
    fs << "classes" << classes;
    fs.release();

    return 0;
}

Also I have downloaded the code given in documentation but i am unable to use it. Any help would be greatly appreciatd.

unfortunately, so far, you have not trained anything. all you did was, to save the traindata to disk.

are you using opencv3 ?

here's the original 2.4 code

Sorry Berak , but I am totally new to svm.I wanted to know what do i do next?
